Oh, how the 'mighty' have fallen on their own swords! One down, thousands more to go....the whole of the Bush Admin., RNC, DNC, more than half of Congress and lots of other Beltway Bandits belong in Prison and the key thrown away!

...I just learned an interesting bit of trivia....DeLey owned an extermination company before he went into politics....!:top:

I wonder who he pissed off?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
